Change windows butons back to the right in Ubuntu 10 04
Change windows butons back to the right in Ubuntu 10 04
One of the changes in Ubuntu 10.04 is to have the windows buttons to the left-side, MacOS like. As I didnt liked this change, Ive searched the internet and came out with this simple solution: we change the configuration of the gnome settings file by using gconf-editor graphical application.
1.Press Alt+F2 to bring up the Run Application dialog box, enter �gconf-editor� in the text field, and click on Run.
2.The Configuration Editor should pop up. The key that we want to edit is in apps/metacity/general. So we double click each folder, until we reach the destination folder named general. On the right side of the windows we have listed something called "button_layout". Double click on the name and on the window that pops-up we enter the following:
menu:maximize,minimize,close
and then we hit OK. The buttons should be back on the right side.
